Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

International cooperation for alternatives to animal testing
Folia Pharmacologica Japonica, 2011 動物実験代替法（以下，代替法と記す）の開発を促すために各国に設立された代替法バリデーションセンターの協調を図るため，2009年に日米欧カナダの参加で，代替試験法協力国際会議（ICATM: International Cooperation on Alternative Test Methods）の覚書が交わされ，代替法の開発に国際協調がより重要視されることになった．さらに，2011年には韓国の追加参入が決まり，新たな覚書が交わされた．このICATMの取り決めに準じた日本動物実験代替法評価センター（JaCVAM: Japanese Center for the Validation of Alternative Methods）の活動状況および今後の国際対応についてまとめた．本来なら ...
